ERROR [Login name] ’Contains one or more invalid characters. This field can
contain letters, numbers, and special characters, such as dashes or
underscores. Spaces are not permitted.’

It is not a case of removing a underscore, but a case of adding a underscore, to replace any existing space[s], but nobody seems prepared to believe me!

Your sign in name Chippy_Tea_, meets the above requirement, but mine - Richard Savage, - and Radio Active Man does not!

PS ~ With respect to the opening statement in my Tue 03-Oct-17 ~11:46:03 post, I would very much appreciate it if someone would draw the attention of Community Star Gondola to my thread here, via the above hyperlink.

Re: TALKTALK COMMUNITY LOGIN ERROR!

As you have already been informed your problem was escalated to the forum management by myself and your log in name was corrected to a valid format, as it turns out by StephenF - the Community Manager. You cannot get a higher authority on the forums than that.

The TT OCEs have nothing to do with the Thinkbroadband forums, I fail to understand why you expect them to respond to you here.

There has been OCE feedback on your issue, which I have fully reported on these forums, if you chose to ignore the contents of my posts that is your problem rather than mine or TalkTalk's. I have now just updated you with the latest information regarding password resets.

Re: TALKTALK COMMUNITY LOGIN ERROR!

You do not specify the nature of the graphic you refer to eebdsirhc, but I will make the assumption that you are referring to the most recent avatar placement, which, is / was, the perfectly acceptable agif which I generated on Thursday 13 April 2017 ~ 00:30, shortly after I was branded a ’Wise Owl’.

Fred_Sheehan has been using the similarly generated graphic - fire_01.gif - since around March 2010, probably.

The version I uploaded on Sunday 16 April 2017 ~ 18:00, to the avatar location, was build #2. Unless it has been removed, you will find it in the Private album of my Photos, but why is it no longer linked to my registered user name?

I no longer need to be concerned that e.mail responses to my requests for a password change are arriving after hours, or even after a day following my request, and are therefore as a consequence, timed-out, I am not getting e.mail responses from that particular source at all! Perhaps the e.mail you sent me - circa Fri 29-Sep-17 - has met with the same fate, because I am yet to receive that also!

Furthermore, I do not need to ask myself, Quote: ‘ what it is you are doing differently to (apparently) every other TT forum user, because, to date, I have now casually come across two other registered users, who have run into exactly the same problem!

There are scores of registered users with a space, or spaces, in their user name, who even now may well be looking for a way around the sign in error problem, but it is unlikely that they will surface, except on an occasional basis, because ………… how do you sign in to the TalkTalk Community, to get assistance, without firstly signing in to the TalkTalk Community, to complain that you cannot sign it to the TalkTalk Community?

The individuals in question have taken a different approach to the problem. One took the approach that you had previously denigrated, and which, under your advisement, I avoided, for what good it did me!

All you needed to do, to comply with my specific request, was to key the macro:

i have flagged this for the OCEs ..................

I would have be happy sit back to await their measured response, but you declared a corruption problem, which it isn't. If I were you eebdsirhc, I would be asking myself, why, after 21 day’s, and counting, has access to TalkTalk Community not been restored to this user, and why has the underlying reason for this charade not be dealt with at source.
